Daily Observations! !!

WEDNESDAY.-A number of the lots on
the old Company Field have been pur-
chased by company of our young men
for specializing purposes. This part of
town is building up rapidly. Mr.. Pollock
still bas number of good lots for sale
over that way. "A considerable pOr-
ton of the cancer has been removed from
the face of Mrs. Burt. .....A. Patton is
building new house on Broad street, Op-
posite Miss Eta Dungan's new house. -.
Several more new houses are talked of
in Kahn's Addition. IA number of
business men and old soldiers were
mustered into Francis Smith Post to-
night. t.... Mr.. Nunnally had severe
time getting up horse which got down
while at work at the new Masonic
grounds on Main street. John Rob
bins went to Waverly to-day. Mr..
Eli Aten is suffering severely with sore
hands, something in the nature of poison
ing. g..... Smith and Lupton have put a
fine new sign on top of their store build
ing, corner Broadway and Pearl. The

the country, called to-day.
THURsDAY.-Miss Maggie Roderick,
left for Salvation Work" in other fields.
Capt. Cole Gillian is in town. -. The
Council referred the cow question to a
committee, that will doubtless give
it calm study and conscientious action.
But the owners of cattle should remem-
ber that the failure to pass an ordinance
putting up the cows. will not give them
permission to allow their cows to run at
large. Every animal trespassing upon
may be taken up and held for
The amount of damage done. And this
aw will doubtless be enforced if the or
finance is not passed. 80. Jos. Shrop-
shire will assist J. @. Elliott in the plas-
,ering of the McKitterick houses. .....
J. B. Howe claims to have discovered a |
splendid vein of fire clay on his place |
three miles north of town. That region |
of country is said to contain large guam |
titles of excellent fire clay. 1t is also a |
great coal region, and there will probably |
be railroad through that section in the |
near future. A road could be run across |
from the o. S., or built up the valley |
The High School gave |
an entertainment at the Rink tonight, |
to good-sized audience. The young |
folks acquitted themselves well, and the
was greatly enjoyed by
those present.
FRIDAY.-A gentleman in from Bloom
field Township tonight says they are
having a regular, full-fedged "boom"
out there. Jackson "boomers" have been
through there advising the people as to
the mysteries and benefits Of booms in
general, and the Bloomfield township
boom" in particular. The impelling force
Of this "boom' is the proposed extension
of the o. S. Railroad, and the advance it
will make in real estate. Squire Jones,
Squire Scurlock and others are taking
leading part in waking the people up.
That's the kind of blooming" that pays
arouse the people to sense of the great
wealth they already possess, aw aiting
Mr. KI1ohnor 10 horo |
with his engine, and in company with an
engineer from Springfield, is giving the
boys free ride, attracting general atten-
ion. -. Greene Shumate is in town to-
lay. Capt Mccormick, of Raysville,
s here. The Capt. says he weighs some
twenty pounds less than when he got
lurt, recently. Judge Welch, of
Athens, is here. The Judge formerly
made propositions to light the town with
yas lights, and we are certain the town
could not find more pleasant and up
right gentleman to deal with. The
VI. E. Church folks have not decided
definitely what to do in the matter of
lew Parsonage, though committee has
oeen appointed to look after the matter.
The Mission folks hold meeting at
Petrea tonight. .....R. III. Jones has
moved his Office to the room over j. w.
Whites store. THE movements OF
the engine about the streets of Jackson
to-day convinced all observers that the
streets are great deal rougher than they
ought to be.

town to-day was something wonderful.

a number of drunken men seen on the
streets, and the police were busy hustling
them out of town as rapidly as possible.
One party that went up the railroad
were heard passing certain point, and
the conversation and conduct were quite
aughable. One fellow had fallen and
bruised his head, and imagined that he
lad been hit with rock. Occasionally |
